The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) stresses that this is average, not perfect: some people see 20\/15, which is sharper than average. According to the AAO, only about 35% of adults have 20\/20 without correction, and about 75% reach it with glasses, contacts or surgery.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qa-row\" data-reveal><div class=\"row\"><h3 class=\"qa-q col-12 col-lg-4\">Is 6\/6 the same as 20\/20?<\/h3><div class=\"qa-a prose col-12 col-lg-8\"><p data-reveal>Yes. 6\/6 is the metric version of 20\/20: the chart is read from 6 metres instead of 20 feet. Both equal 1.0 in decimal. The first number is the distance you stand at; the second is the distance at which an average eye would read that same line. A bigger second number therefore means weaker distance vision.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qa-row\" data-reveal><div class=\"row\"><h3 class=\"qa-q col-12 col-lg-4\">What do 6\/9, 6\/12 and the other lines mean?<\/h3><div class=\"qa-a prose col-12 col-lg-8\"><p data-reveal>The Snellen chart, created by the Dutch ophthalmologist Herman Snellen in 1862, gives each line its own fraction.<\/p>\n<ul data-reveal>\n<li><strong>6\/5 (about 20\/17, decimal 1.2):<\/strong> sharper than average.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6\/6 (20\/20):<\/strong> normal distance vision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6\/7.5 (20\/25, decimal 0.8):<\/strong> just below 6\/6.
